It sounds like that’s your prompt for full or slightly too full. Try to stop on or two bites before you normally do to see if it doesn’t happen the next time. If it happens despite the amount you eat, it may be post op swelling/inflammation which will go away. At three weeks post op it’s probably a bit of both Also check with your bariatric team and see what that say about the sensation.

If it’s not covered in your policy, it will not be covered (unless there is some extreme circumstance and it becomes part of an emergency surgery for some other reason like stomach cancer resection and even then it may not be covered only the hospital stay) If you can change insurance companies it would be easier than contending with your current company. If you have the funds then medical tourism is the fastest way. Good Luck ❤️

Camp no egg... also Camp oil, Camp some milk and Camp cold water 😂

The (fabled & elusive) Aldi’s red bag chicken fillet with homemade coleslaw

Yes 😂

Some hospitals have heating pads (especially on the maternity floor), perhaps you can request one ahead of time

You may need to figure out which managed care program you will be under (if any) but here are a couple of links. I highly recommend calling to find out then asking for more information in writing (once you are approved for the new health insurance policy) https://www.molinahealthcare.com/~/media/Molina/PublicWebsite/PDF/providers/oh/medicaid/manual/manual_oh_benefits-index-11-2012.pdf https://www.caresource.com/documents/medicaid-oh-policy-medical-mm-1061-20201201/

@ChubRub I love faux leather leggings but they have to be super tight to work (look like latex paint). I love the haul ❤️

Congratulations 🎉

I really wanted soup but my BF is a vegetarian so Tofu noodle soup and lazy biscuits. (Traditional noodles and flour used) and tofu soup w/o noodles. I didn’t want noodles in my soup and also didn’t drink the liquid

That’s fantastic ❤️

I’m sorry, I meant for your current leg pain

Have you tried a TENS machine for pain yet?

Unfortunately even doctors can still poor information outside of their specialty. This is why you have a Bariatric surgeon to give you real information instead of anecdotal evidence. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery ❤️

Now I want chicken soup 😍

My spellcheck is a nightmare 😩

Boring lunch before and after (turkey and cheese wrap)

Penne Alfredo (for my BF) This pasta is made out of red lentil flour only. The instructions say to cook for 7-9 minutes but I found that it needs maybe 10-12 minutes to be tender otherwise it’s molto al dente. I tried about 10 pieces and they were ok. I still don’t like pasta even though I love red lentils. It’s the texture for me.

Same! I love looking into refrigerators. Mine currently has 6 bottles of whipped creams, cheese and vegetables 😂

I want a food orgasm too 🥺

I think you’re right, you may have done too much too quickly. But hopefully that’s all and you’ll be back in good shape in no time. Get Well Soon ❤️

I’m glad you’re out of the hospital and doing better. Hopefully your surgeon will have a plan for you Get Well Soon ❤️

🔺 I completely agree 🔺 I definitely work better with the Vince of choosing a range and working to stay in it.

As many studies and veterans will attest, you will hit an all time low but it *usually* is not the final weight you’ll stay at. There is often a rebound upward to some degree. You may not have to worry just yet about gaining unless your surgeon is concerned. Congratulations on your success so far ❤️
